What does anyone know about the red caviar? How does it compare to other seasons' reds?
From what I’ve seen, it’s stunning and bright but not orange. It reminds me of my 20c strawberry red but perhaps more color saturation. It looks puffy and a really nice caviar not a dull caviar like in a lot of seasons past. A very true red.
 
She’s arrived! Light pink iridescent in medium! Lilac undertones and feels very sturdy. I believe this is calfskin not lambskin from texture. Difficult to capture the beauty with an iPhone. She’s stunning!!!!!

Your 3rd pic really captures how pretty the sheen is. I love it! Wear it in good health!!
 
picked up this mini w top handle today in shiny black caviar and brushed gold hardware today! the caviar is nice and puffy and i actually like the shininess of it (it looks much better in person imo and not as plastic-y/fake). still not feeling the handle just yet but i really can't bring myself to get the classic caviar mini at the premium price on the resell market. after playing around with the straps i realized it's quite cute worn as a shoulder bag too. at regular crossbody length it's a tad long on me (I'm 5'2) but it's not a huge issue since the chain is shorter than on the regular mini.

Does anyone have any opinions on the iridescent finishing? How does it look like in real life? There are so many iridescent finishings for this season but I was concerned about it looking too shiny as matte seems to give off a better look on the colour of the leather. Your thoughts?

Looks so cute!! Love the shortened strap length look too. Congrats lovely. Have you tried adding a twilly on your handle?

how to iridescent calfskin bags wear long term? Do the quilts flatten like lambskin? Are they sturdy like caviar? Does the sheen stay?
Imo from what I've seen they hold up pretty well. They aren't soft like lamb. My friend said her irri pink med is very sturdy and not the same smooth finish as lamb. Unless you're banging your purse everywhere I really don't think they're as high maintenance as you may think.

Looks so good on you! Would you mind sharing a crossbody mod shot? I’m only 5’0” - the strap drop is making me nervous
